Meet Courtney Burnett

We ask all our partners the same questions. We hope you’ll enjoy getting to know our guest!

1. Please share your relationship to autism: I am both a professional and a parent to a child with autism.

2. What services does your organization provide? Free resources and community group, blog and podcast. We also have a learning hub for family and self advocates for a monthly or yearly membership.
   

3. What would you like to tell our audience about your organization? This bipartisan victory proved that when caregivers and self-advocates lead, systems change is not only possible—it’s powerful. Today, Raising Voices Coalition continues to train, mobilize, and elevate advocates in Arizona and beyond, ensuring policy is shaped by the people who live it every day.

4. What motivates you to support the autism community? We know this is one of the largest demographics of growing needs in the state. We also know that there is a wide spectrum of needs within the community.

5. What advice would you give to someone new to their autism journey?‍ What feels overwhelming today will become easier as you understand the different systems of care. The system is broken, not your child.
